Through her services, she provides medium-sized tech companies with the know-how and best practices they need to take their digital products to international markets. She helps her clients plan their globalization and localization strategy, and then implement it.   Originally from Japan, and educated in Spain, my guest began her career in the language industry in 1996, when she took on the role of localization specialist at Lionbridge, one of the world’s top translation companies. In 2001, she founded her own consultancy, Global Bridge.
